EXTRA EXTRA!

Jackson Shell uses potty for the first time!

His jubilant parents proudly looked on. Friends, neighbors and family were alerted. The resulting product was briefly admired and promptly disposed of, as Jackson Shell waved and said "bye bye".

Stay tuned for further updates as they become available...

Yay! Jo's in town!

Our friends, Tony and Desiree, and their son Joseph come for a visit from Cleveland.

Greetings from Germany

Hello from Germany. Tonight is Sabine's and my last night here in Germany. It's been a lot of fun. We got to visit with many of Sabine's family and friends, and even a couple of mine from Chicago. My friend Tom was taking a tour of Germany with his brother, Danny, and we got to meet with them when they were in Nürmberg. My friend Paul is stationed in Heidelberg and I got to take the train to visit with him. As a bonus, two former Au Pairs met me in Heidelberg and I got to meet with them, too. I'll upload a few pictures from the trip. We'll be back in Chicago tomorrow afternoon. Hope everyone is well.
